Notable Notes: Byron Nelson led by three strokes entering the final round, but Ben Hogan caught his fellow Fort Worth native to force an 18-hole playoff.

Nelson then won the playoff, despite making bogey on the last hole, by one stroke, shooting 69 to Hogan's 70. Hogan jumped to an early lead after Nelson double-bogied the first hole, but Nelson turned it around with an eagle and three birdies on Holes 8-13.
